本工作设计并合成了以螺芴吖啶为核的两种芳胺类分子SFDBA-DCz和SFDBA-DPA, 并通过溶液加工法将其作为电荷捕获层, 制备了底栅顶接触型有机场效应晶体管(OFET)存储器. 实验结果显示, 基于SFDBA-DCz的OFET存储器件具有更高的迁移率0.35 cm2•V-1•s-1和更高的电流开关比2.1×104, 但基于SFDBA-DPA的OFET存储器件具有更加优越的存储窗口. 维持时间为4000 s时, 基于SFDBA-DPA器件和基于SFDBA-DCz器件的开关比分别为101和103. 综合分析结果显示, 基于SFDBA-DCz的OFET存储器件具有比基于SFDBA-DPA器件更好的器件稳定性和耐受性, 但基于SFDBA-DPA的OFET存储器件具有比SFDBA-DCz器件更加优越的存储窗口.

The study involved the design and synthesis of two aromatic amine molecules, SFDBA-DCz and SFDBA-DPA, based on a spiro[acridine-fluorene] core. These molecules were used as charge trapping layers by solution processing to create bottom-gate-top-contact organic field-effect transistor (OFET) memories based on pentacene. Experimental results revealed that the surface of the SFDBA-DPA thin film, when deposited with pentacene, appeared rougher, possibly due to the strong crystallinity of pure SFDBA-DPA films. This led to poor surface hydrophobicity, which hindered pentacene film growth. In contrast, the SFDBA-DCz thin film, also deposited with pentacene, exhibited relatively smooth surfaces, likely attributed to its good film-forming properties. This smooth surface showed better hydrophobicity, which facilitated pentacene film growth. Regarding device performance, the field-effect mobility (μ) for devices based on SFDBA-DPA and SFDBA-DCz were measured at 0.04 cm2•V⁻1•s⁻1 and 0.35 cm2•V⁻1•s⁻1, respectively, with threshold voltages (Vth) recorded at 1.70 V and –1.76 V. The on/off current ratios (Ion/Ioff) were 2.3×104 and 2.1×104, respectively. These results indicated that devices using SFDBA-DCz exhibited higher mobility and a better current on/off ratio. Furthermore, at a write-in time of 1 s and a write-in voltage of –50 V, devices utilizing SFDBA-DPA and SFDBA-DCz displayed optimal hole storage windows of 10.5 V and 6.62 V, respectively. As the write-in time increased, the storage windows for both materials expanded, with SFDBA-DPA consistently offering a storage window approximately 4 V larger than SFDBA-DCz, regardless of the write-in duration. Under a gate electrode voltage (VDS) of 10 V, a read voltage of –5 V, and a holding time of 4000 s, the on/off ratios for devices using SFDBA-DPA and SFDBA-DCz were 101 and 103, respectively. This indicates that devices based on SFDBA-DPA had a slightly superior on/off ratio compared to those using SFDBA-DCz. A comprehensive analysis demonstrated that devices employing SFDBA-DCz exhibited enhanced stability and tolerance compared to those based on SFDBA-DPA. However, SFDBA-DPA-based devices showed a superior storage window in comparison to SFDBA-DCz devices.
